I'm really concerned about my dad's health. He's been having an unusually high WBC count, but he doesn't show any symptoms of leukocytosis. The blood smear and spleen tests all came back normal. He's stable, with no fever or inflammation, but his WBC count keeps fluctuating between 52000 and 28000. What could be causing this variation in his WBC count when everything else seems fine?

Question

I'm working as a receptionist at a clinic, and I came across a report where a 38-year-old lady had her platelet counts highlighted as high. The normal range listed was 1.5 to 4.5 lakhs, but I'm a bit unsure about what count is actually considered too high. Could you explain what qualifies as a high platelet count?

Question

I recently found out that my ferritin levels are at 9.78 ngmL, which seems to be lower than the normal range. I'm a 41-year-old female and I'm starting to get worried. I'm considering consulting a hematologist for advice on safe iron supplements to help increase my levels. Are there any specific supplements or dietary changes I should consider? Is there cause for concern with levels this low?

Question

I'm really concerned about my brother. His CBC report shows elevated neutrophils at 7.59, low lymphocytes at 17, eosinophils at 0.54, TLC is at 10.3, and his RBC count is 4.45. The other day he fainted after being outside in the heat. What could be causing this? I'm quite worried and just want to understand what's going on.
